Mrs. Pandya (cuddling her son in the photo) said she did not want him to lose hope that one day he would not grow up and realize his dreams. The boy defied the opportunity when he was living six to nine months when he was told that he had a rare diffuse intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) – which affects about 30 children in the UK each year. We decided not to tell him because we wanted to protect him and did not want him to lose hope that one day he would grow up to realize his dream to be a scientist or a zoologist, "said Mrs. Pandya to the mirror. . & # 39; Some parents may not agree with our decision – and it is the last thing every parent wants to be confronted with. & # 39; It did not feel like we had to make a choice – not to say he was right.
